5.0 out of 5 stars
Great introduction to logic,
This review is from: Mind Benders A1 (Paperback)
It's no secret that I greatly admire Jessie Wise's The Well Trained Mind. It was Wise's recommendation that led me to the Mind Benders books, and my son and I learned a great deal working through the four A books. They were ample preparation for the more rigorous course of logic study we've undertaken this year. A word to others who have landed here because of Wise's book: Unless you are a professor of logic, you really must invest in the companion books, Mind Benders Instructions and Detailed Solutions and Warm Up Mind Benders.

Great Brain Exercises for kids.,

This review is from: Mind Benders A1 (Paperback)
These problem solving activities are a great way for your kids to exercise their brains. My 2nd grader loves them! But even my kindergartener can do them with a little help. We always make a copy of the answer chart so that we can use them again and again. I remember doing these puzzles when I was in school. A great way to spend some time without having to plug-in!
